Our approach to recruitment in Arts, Music and Heritage
We specialise in recruiting specialists and professionals within the industry. For a variety of our clients in this industry, we offer a bespoke and personalised strategy to locating, attracting, and hiring senior and non-executive leaders.
Through discovery meetings with your team, we gain an understanding of the position and the ideal skill set we are looking for beyond the job description. Through the investment we have made in technology and tools, we are able to search for the most talented active and passive candidates. With this research capacity we identify a long list of potential candidates and by keeping contact with our clients we ensure we are going in the right direction.
We find candidates that share aligned values with the organisations we work with who can foster challenging transitions, advance fiscal sustainability, and enhance diversity and inclusion, encouraging the growth of innovation.
Creating a diverse shortlist is of the upmost importance to Percival, while still ensuring that candidates have the required skills and as much lived experience or first-hand knowledge as possible.
